Turn Email Mentions Into Assigned Work Items
You receive an email that says 'Hey, can @alice help with this design?' Notis creates a Linear issue and assigns it to Alice automatically. She sees a proper work item instead of having to dig through email.
Trigger
New Email Received
Trigger for new emails in an AgentMail inbox
Action
Create linear issue
Creates a new issue in a specified linear project and team, requiring a title and description, and allowing for optional properties like assignee, state, priority, cycle, and due date.
Why this helps
Team members are mentioned in emails but miss the assignment because it's buried in a thread. They don't realize they're expected to work on something until it's too late or someone follows up.
- Emails mentioning team members automatically create Linear issues assigned to them
- Team members see formal work items instead of buried email mentions
- Reduces back-and-forth about who's supposed to do what
- Ensures mentioned team members get proper notifications and can add to their workflow
Setup
Build it in a few focused steps.
- 1Connect Agent mail and Linear integrations to Notis.
- 2Tell Notis: 'When an email mentions a team member by name or @mention, create a Linear issue assigned to that person with the email content as the task.'
- 3Choose 'New Email Received' as the trigger.
- 4Test by sending an email that mentions a team member and verify an issue is created and assigned.
- 5Activate for all incoming emails.
Questions about this workflow
What if an email mentions multiple people?
Notis can create a single issue with all mentioned people assigned, or separate issues for each. You specify in your prompt.
What if someone's name appears in a email but they're not meant to be assigned?
Refine your prompt: 'Only create an issue if the name is preceded by @' or 'Only if it's in a direct assignment context.'
Will this create spam if emails casually mention people?
You can be strict with your rules: 'Only if the context is a clear request or assignment.' Notis filters to avoid frivolous issues.
